Abstrak. Limbah pewarna industri tekstil merupakan limbah cair yang sulit teroksidasi dan berbahaya bagi lingkungan. Radikal hidroksil (•OH) merupakan spesies yang sangat efektif dalam mengoksidasi berbagai limbah cair organik seperti limbah pewarna.  Metode Elektrolisis Plasma sangat produktif menghasilkan radikal Hidroksil sehingga efektif dalam menyisihkan (mendegradasi) berbagai jenis limbah pewarna tekstil seperti Remazol Red. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengoptimalkan proses degradasi remazol red RB 133 dan konsumsi energinya menggunakan metode Elektrolisis Plasma melalui pengaturan suhu dan  injeksi gelembung  udara dalam larutan. Pembentukan H2O2 merupakan indikator pembentukan •OH pada reaksi Elektrolisis Plasma. Injeksi udara pada larutan limbah pewarna menurunkan arus listrik pada kurva karekateristik arus-tegangan. Kenaikan suhu larutan dari 45 oC menjadi 75 oC  selama 10 menit reaksi tampa injeksi udara menurunkan konsumsi energi  dari 229,9 kJ menjadi 219,5 kJ serta menurunkan  produksi H2O2 dari 4,8 mmol menjadi 3,1 mmol. Sementara injeksi udara pada suhu 75 oC selama 10 menit proses menurunkan konsumsi  listrik hingga 28,5% dan meningkatkan produksi H2O2 hingga 27,3 %. Namun demikian injeksi udara hanya meningkatkan degradasi Remazol Red sebesar 1,8 %.  Suhu optimum dicapai pada 55oC, dengan produksi H2O2 sebesar 5,7 mmol selama 30 menit. Injeksi udara udara mampu meningkatkan efektivitas proses. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan persen penyisihan mencapai 88,9% dengan  konsumsi energi sebesar 115,2 kJ dalam waktu 30 menit reaksi. Kata kunci: elektrolisis plasma, remazol red, gelembung udara. Abstract. Effect of Temperature and Air Injection on Degradation of Remazol Red Textile Dyes by Plasma Electrolysis Method. The textile dye waste is a liquid waste that is difficult to oxidize and dangerous for the environment. Hydroxyl radicals (• OH) are very effective species in oxidizing various organic liquid wastes such as Remazol Red. Plasma Electrolysis Method is very productive in producing Hydroxyl radicals, resulting in effective degradation of various types of textile dye waste such as Remazol Red. This study aims to optimize the degradation process of remazol red RB 133 and its energy consumption using the Plasma Electrolysis method through temperature regulation and injection of air bubbles in solution. The formation of H2O2 is used an indicator of the formation of •OH in the Plasma Electrolysis reaction. The Air injection decreases the electric current on the current-voltage characteristic curve. The solution temperature increases from 45oC to 75oC for 10 minutes reaction without air injection were able to reduce the energy consumption from 229.9 kJ to 219.5 kJ and H2O2 production from 4.8 mmol to 3.1 mmol. Meanwhile, the addition of air injection at 75oC within 10 minutes of reaction were able to reduce electricity consumption by 28.5% and increases H2O2 production by 27.3%. However, the addition of air injection only increased the degradation of Remazol Red by 1.8%. The optimum temperature was reached at 55oC, with H2O2 production of 5.7 mmol for 30 minutes. The addition of air injection has been shown to increase the effectiveness of the process. The results showed degradation percentage reached 88.9% with energy consumption of 115.2 kJ within 30 minutes of reaction. Keywords: air injection, plasma electrolysis, remazol red. Graphical Abstract

Plasma electrolysis technology applications in Chlor-Alkali process productionChlor-alkali industry sector is one of the important industrial sectorsin chemical industry. However, the chlor-alkali industry is one of the industry sectors that consume the most electrical energy due to the production using the methodof electrolysis. Plasma electrolysis is an electrolysis process with high voltage so that produce the glow discharge plasma in electrolyte solution. This method can be applied in the production of chlor-alkali and can reduce energy consumption several times. This research is aimed to observe the plasma electrolysis method in producing chlorine gas and also to measure the electricity consumption needed in chlor-alkali production process. This study was conducted by using plasma electrolysis reactor equipped by electrodes and cooling system. Process variables observed are voltage, NaCl concntration, and anode depth. Result of this research shows that the increase of all variables will cause the increase of chlorine gas production. The highest chlorine gas production is 1.44 mmol for 15 minutes at 400 V and 0.15 M NaCl solution where the anode position is at the surface of solution. Energy consumption of the process reaches 284 kJ/mmol Cl2, which is 38 times lower than electrolysis process in the same reactor configuration.Keywords: electrolysis, plasma electrolysis, production of chlor-alkali AbstrakIndustri klor-alkali merupakan salah satu industri penting dalam industri kimia dengan konsumsi energi listrik yang tinggi karena proses produksinya menggunakan metode elektrolisis.

Abstract Batik wastewater contains phenolic compounds. Phenolic compounds are hematotoxic, hepatotoxic, and capable of causing mutagenesis and carcinogenesis in humans and other living organisms. Therefore, phenol compounds need to be degraded. This study uses plasma electrolysis method with Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) reactor to degrade phenolic compounds in Batik wastewater. The purpose of this study was to characterize the Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) reactor, to determine the effect of voltage and type of catalyst on phenol concentration, and to determine the interaction between voltage and catalyst type on the response of phenol concentration through analysis of variance (ANOVA). The result obtained from the characterization of the reactor is ignition voltage at 1400 Volt. The best degradation results of phenolic compounds were obtained in the treatment of Batik wastewater with FeSO4 catalyst at 2600 Volt. The phenol reduction in the best conditions reached 88.73%. Based on analysis of variance (ANOVA), voltage and quadratic catalyst variables affect the response of phenol concentrations in batik waste.
